Good evening
With all the hype on Star Wars within the building community I thought for my next project that i might as well join in on the bandwagon.
I have selected as my build the Millennium Falcon by Slawek. It has some nice detail. For instructions the designer only supplied CAD drawings of the major sub assemblies.
Since this model does not come with a cockpit interior, only a blacked out canopy, I decided to add this interior. There is in my inventory a template for an interior meant for a plastic version of the Falcon. It should be easy enough to adapt it.
The chairs will have to be scratch built.
Started with building the cockpit canopy and the interior. Two issues became apparent. One I made the interior too small and two, the supplied canopy was out of scale and too long.
Rescaled the interior and that worked out much better. The canopy I imported into a design program, shortened it and designed a new front for the canopy as the original was out of scale and too small.
The interior.
Still have to build the chairs.
Here are the finished canopy, which now has the interior coloured, as well as the Cockpit Interior and the Cockpit Tunnel.
This is a comparison of the two canopies.
For the pilot and copilot chairs it needed buckets. Decided to use the ones designed by Ron Candillo, from his TOS Bridge. They just needed to be resized and recoloured. The two passenger seats I will have to build from scratch.
This is where I am at right now.
Thank you for following.
